You people scoffed — scoffed! — when I suggested (along with Heather Digby Parton) that Donald Trump could end up doing very well among the GOP base in the Republican 2016 primary race for President…
He’s dismissed by the political professionals, but there is no denying that the appetite for Donald Trump among Republican primary voters is real.
The New York developer and reality television star is second among 2016 presidential candidates in a new Suffolk University poll of New Hampshire Republicans – behind only former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
The poll of 500 likely GOP presidential primary voters found 14% back Mr. Bush. Mr. Trump is right behind at 11%. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio come next, with 8% and 7%, respectively.
Good call, Brad. Love that TV screen moire pattern in the photo.
Well, I guess that’s about it.
I suppose if we call simple name recognition from reality-TV bonafides momentum, well yeah, sure….i agree that the Donald, like most of his peers among privileged assholes, was ‘born on third base and thinks he hit a double’ as the saying goes….that’s nothing to scoff at….God beat us to it….
Donald Trump seems to have become kind of unhinged in recent years but, then again, so does Hillary Clinton. US leadership landscape is dotted with shoddy has-been brand names. No wonder the world is dumping the US dollar.
(BTW, Brad, something about your site seems to be crashing when I use the Chrome browser)
